Col. Charles b. Moron and Capt. X. w
Black of count-out fine, have just put the
Augusta Democracy dnder deep obligations
to them by inducing the Secretary Of the
Treasury to reject Ill the bids for the con-
struction Of the Augusta post Office building,
and order the WORK done by the day The
Secretary advertbed for bids for the work,
but when the BIDS were opened it was found
that the lowest bidder was the Hallowell
Granite Company. Then there was a great
commotion. The HallOwell Granite Compa-
ny is composed Of Republicans, and it was
horrifying thought to the Augusta Democ-
racy that a iublic building should be built
under Democratic administration by Re-
publican company. So the postmaster and
Mr.. E. C.Allen and lots of other prominent
Democrats protested to the Secretary that
the wori could be done better by the day,
and thar protest. together with the repre-
sentatbns of Col. Morton and Capt. Black.
was Sufficient to induce the Secretary to re-
ject al the bids. OF course the scheme is
to work the new building for all that it is
wofth to the Democrats politically by plac-
inc the work in the hands of Democratic
superintendent who can be trusted to en-
hoy nobody who will not promise to vote
she Democratic ticket. The trick will not
amount to much, but it serves to show what
desperate straits the Maine Democracy are

The Pennsylvania Democratic State con-
vention mee7s to-day. The chief interest
hinges on the tariff plank of the platform.
There is movement, which probably origin
ated with the administration, to get decla-
ration in favor of reform of the tariff, and
thus bottle up the Hon. Samuel j. Randall.
But Mr.. Randall is fully alive to the situa-
and no such resolution will go through If he
can prevent 1t, and Mr.. Randall is pretty
big man in the Keystone State.

Major Downey. one of the old pioneers Of

1t has been an open secret for some time
that some Of the Maine Democrats were in
favor of abolishiug the office of of surveyor
OF this port. 1t must not be inferred however

only' fSis policy is advocated simply as
the surest m~thod of checkmating certain

There can be no doubt that Collector Page
In refusing to post up for the inspection OF
the public list of those who have taken
out liquor licenses is acting in violation OF
law. The act of Congress is mandatory and
expressed in terms that admit no doubt as to
its meaning. But whether Mr.. Page can be
made to perform his duty while his superior
officer. the Commissioner of Internal Reve-
nue.. sympathizes with, and apparently en-
eourages, his neglect Of it, is question.

Scarcely day passes now without de-
liverance Of some sort from Mr.. Powderly.
A year ago he was fierce protectionist, but
he is beginning to wabble on that subject as
he has on most others since he has been
conspicuous before the public. The trouble
with Mr.. Powderly seems to be that he is
only clay in the hands of the potter, and the
shape that he takes is determined entirely
by the potter's fancy. The country some
time ago ceased to have much respect for his
Judgment or his courage, though it has in
clined and still inclines to award him the
credit of good Intentions
